===Early life===
Not much of Ember's early life is known. She appears to be the only child of [[Torch]] given no mentioned relatives and the status of her mother is unknown. Growing up, her rebellious attitude seemed to cause strain between her and her more rigid dad. Her father had little faith in Ember's actual abilities, and belittled her during the [[Gauntlet of Fire (Event)|Gauntlet of Fire]], further indicating a strained relationship.

Later, while attempting to determine where she should send her student [[Starlight Glimmer]], Twilight considered sending her to the Dragon Lands. She created a magical simulation to examine what might happen, but it was influenced by her own perceptions. The simulated Ember and Starlight thus behaved rather uncharacteristically, engaging in fairly bizarre interactions.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Gauntlet of Fire}}</ref>

===Second Dragon-Yak war===
[[File:Art volume II Ember by Sara Richard.jpg|thumb|250px|Ember clad for war.]]
After learning that the [[yak]] [[Prince Rutherford]] had made [[Pinkie Pie (Friendship is Magic)|Pinkie Pie]] an honorary yak in breach of an ancient agreement between Dragon Lord [[Scintilla]] and [[Prince Ulysses]], a furious Ember led her people in an [[Second Dragon-Yak war|attack]] on [[Yakyakistan]]. Spike and a number of ponies, who had been visiting Yakyakistan at the time, were shocked by this act of aggression, particularly when they discovered that Ember had ordered it. Ember, for her part, merely accused the yaks of violating their "sacred bond" and refused to expound upon the subject. Spike took it upon himself to find out the truth and made his way to the dragon camp. There, Ember explained that she had become infuriated by ponies stereotyping dragons, and went on to explain the significance of the honorary yak title to the dragons.

Spike's attempts to defend the yaks went unheeded, and Ember and her forces marched to confront the yaks and ponies the following morning. However, Spike, who had marched with them, came between the two forces, and amused Ember by taking the ponies to task for their opinions about dragons as a whole. She was less amused when he turned things around and accosted her for reinforcing the very negative pony view about dragons she disliked through her actions. Ember was then embarrassed to learn that the yak records had been unclear about Scintilla's identity, and they had thus been unaware of their connection to the dragons. Rutherford and Pinkie apologized, and offered to rescind Pinkie's title, but Ember decided it was better for them all to move forward, and led the dragons in helping to repair the damage they had caused.<ref>''[[Wings over Yakyakistan]]''</ref>

Ember and Thorax began exchanging letters, with her continuing to give him advice on being a more assertive ruler.<ref>[[To Change a Changeling]]</ref> Ember was also among the leaders who attended the [[Convocation of the Creatures]], a gathering of representatives from various species across the world. She was quite uncomfortable with the situation, due to dragons lacking practice in diplomacy, but was encouraged by Twilight. [[Blacktip]], a dragon serving as archivist, was later somewhat put off to learn that Twilight was friends with Ember, as he had attempted to pass himself off as her best resource for dragon culture facts. According to one account, she later visited the [[Crystal Empire]] to discuss a trade agreement with [[Princess Cadance]] and [[Shining Armor]].<ref>{{M|GAMELOFT}}, Presentable in Periwinkle event</ref>


When Twilight Sparkle opened the [[School of Friendship]] in Ponyville, [[Princess Celestia]] helped her reach out to various species to invite members of them to enroll. Ember accepted the invitation and brought the young dragon [[Smolder]] to join, though the younger female was less than enthusiastic. After ordering her to remain, and introducing her to Spike, Ember later attended [[Friends and Family Day]] with Thorax, [[Grampa Gruff]], Prince Rutherford, and [[General Seaspray]]. Unfortunately, their rambunctious students caused a scene that aggravated the anti-pony sentiments of [[Chancellor Neighsay]], who offended Ember and her peers. All five thus withdrew their students from the school, which Neighsay closed in his capacity as head of the [[EEA]].
